According to Aloye, some of the suspects are
returnees from Brazil who use lawn movers, duvets, and cosmetic bottles to
conceal the drugs.
“Substantial parts of these drugs are even meant for local consumption and
circulation within Rivers State here. You know the kind of massive impact it
will have in the minds of our citizens,” he said.
“From our arrest here, we didn’t just pick these people. Immediately they
arrive, we try to debrief them. We try to find out who and who is waiting for
them to pick them up from the airport.
“What happened in the last couple of months is that they are looking at this
airport as an easy way out.”
